Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for preparing layered thin films, more particularly, it relates to a process for depositing a plurality of thin films including a bottom superconductor layer on a substrate successively to produce a layered superconducting structure.
- Oxide superconductors are expected to be used in a variety of applications due to their higher critical temperatures than conventional metal superconductors.
- Y--Ba--Cu--O oxide superconductor possess the critical temperature above 80K and Bi--Sr--Ca--Cu--O and Tl--Ba--Ca--Cu--O oxide superconductors possess that of above 100K.
- oxide superconductors When the oxide superconductors are used in superconducting devices, it is indispensable to prepare a thin film of oxide superconductor and to laminate a plurality thin films including a bottom superconductor layer successively on a substrate.
- a superconducting junction so-called tunnel type Josephson Junction realized with oxide superconductor, it is requested to deposit a bottom superconductor layer, an intermediate layer of non-superconductor and a top superconductor layer on a substrate successively in this order.
- Josephson element is a two-terminals element, so that a logical circuit consisting of Josephson elements alone becomes complicated.
- a variety of ideas of three-terminals elements are proposed.
- the superconductor transistors consisting of superconductor and semiconductor which is a typical three-terminals element, it is also required to combine a thin film of semiconductor with a thin film of oxide superconductor and hence successive deposition of thin films each consisting of different material is required.
- a superconducting current passes through a thin film of non-superconductor sandwiched between two adjacent layers of superconductors positioned close to each other.
- a distance between the two adjacent superconductors is determined by the coherence length of superconductor. Since the coherence length of oxide superconductors is very short, the distance between two adjacent superconductors must be several nanometer.
- all thin films in the superconducting device must have high crystallinity, in other words, these thin films are made preferably of a single crystal or polycrystal having crystal orientation which is similar to single crystal.
- the superconducting device has thin film(s) made of polycrystal whose crystal orientation is not well-ordered or has amorphous thin film(s), high-performance of the superconducting device can not be expected and hence function thereof become unstable.
- the surface condition of the bottom superconductor layer should be considered carefully because the coherence length of oxide superconductors is very short and hence the superconductivity is easily lost. Therefore, the surface of bottom superconductor layer must be clean and also must have well-ordered crystallinity or superconducting property.
- constituent elements of the top superconductor layer diffuse or migrate into the bottom superconductor layer, resulting in that an interface between these layers becomes unclear and thin films of oxide superconductor are deteriorated.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the problems and to provide a process for preparing layered thin films comprising a bottom superconductor layer and the other thin film layers deposited on the bottom superconductor layer and having improved crystallinity and continuity especially at superconducting interfaces.
- the present invention provides a process for depositing successively a plurality of thin films on a bottom superconductor layer made of oxide superconductor deposited on a substrate, characterized in that deposition of all of the bottom superconductor layer and the thin films is carried out in a single chamber successively.
- the deposition is carried out preferably under one of following conditions (1) and (2):
- Deposition of a first thin film to be deposited directly on the bottom superconductor layer is effected under such condition that the bottom superconductor layer is heated above the oxygen-trap temperature (T trap ) at which oxygen enter into the oxide superconductor but lower than the film forming temperature of the bottom superconductor layer.
- T trap oxygen-trap temperature
- the bottom superconductor layer is heated in a ultra-high vacuum chamber at a temperature lower than the oxygen-trap temperature (T trap ) but higher than a temperature which is lower by 100° C. than the oxygen-trap temperature (T trap -100° C.), and then the first thin film is deposited on the bottom superconductor layer.
- the oxygen-trap temperature (T trap ) and the film forming temperature are known for respective oxide superconductor.
- the process according to the present invention is applicable to any known oxide superconductors and is advantageously applicable to Y--Ba--Cu--O oxide superconductor, Bi--Sr--Ca--Cu--O oxide superconductor and Tl--Ba--Ca--Cu--O oxide superconductor which have the most attractive properties including their high critical temperatures.
- the substrate is preferably a single crystal of oxide such as MgO, StTiO 3 , PrGaO 3 or the like.
- a layered structure containing at least one thin film of oxide superconductor of high quality can be produced under one of the conditions (1) and (2).
- deposition of the bottom and top superconductor layers and an oxygen-containing thin film to be deposited on the bottom superconductor layer is carried out in an atmosphere of oxygen having the purity of higher than 5N (99.999%).
- oxygen having the purity of higher than 5N (99.999%).
- Existence of H 2 O and CO 2 in oxygen deteriorate the oxide, superconductor because they react easily with the oxide superconductor so that H 2 O and CO 2 should be eliminated as small as possible.
- the bottom superconductor layer is a c-axis oriented thin film of Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-x
- the first thin film is made of non-superconductor, for example oxide such as MgO or metal such as Ag and a second thin film to be deposited on the first thin film is a top superconductor layer of Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-x .
- deposition of all thin films to be deposited on the bottom superconductor layer is effected at a substrate temperature between 400° and 600° C. under the deposition of condition (1), and the bottom superconductor layer is heated in ultra-high vacuum of lower than 1 ⁇ 10 -9 Torr at the substrate temperature between 350° and 400° C. before the first thin film is deposited under the condition (2).
- the first thin film When deposition of the first thin film is carried out in the temperature range defined by the condition (1), enough oxygen enter into the oxide superconductor and diffusion of constituent elements of the first thin film into the bottom superconductor layer can be prevented effectively.
- the bottom superconductor layer is a thin film of Y--Ba--Cu--O oxide superconductor
- the first thin film of MgO or Ag is deposited at the substrate temperature between 400° and 600° C.
- the first thin film When deposition of the first thin film is carried out in the temperature range defined by the condition (2), oxygen do not escape out of the bottom superconductor layer and constituent elements of the thin film deposited directly on the bottom superconductor layer do not diffuse or migrate into the bottom superconductor layer.
- the bottom superconductor layer is a thin film of Y--Ba--Cu--O oxide superconductor
- the first thin film of MgO or Ag is deposited at the substrate temperature between 350° and 400° C.
- the process according to the present invention characterized by the condition (1) and (2) is useful for fabricating a superconducting element comprising a bottom superconductor layer, an intermediate layer made of insulator or ordinary conductor and a top superconductor layer having a different crystal orientation.
- all layers of bottom superconductor layer and thin films deposited thereon must be produced successively in a single chamber so that the bottom superconductor layer does not contact with air and hence a surface of the bottom superconductor layer is neither contaminated nor deteriorated by a reaction with moisture in air.
- the stratified thin films prepared by the process according to the present invention show improved crystallinity and continuity especially at superconducting interfaces which are requested for realizing superconducting elements or integrated superconducting circuits so that high-performance superconducting systems can be realized.

- Substrate temperature 700° C.
- a thin film of oxide superconductor of Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (3) having a thickness of 200 nm is deposited on the resulting thin film of MgO (2).
- Deposition of this top superconductor layer (3) can be carried out by the same method as above but the substrate temperature must be adjusted in a range between 400° and 600° C.
- the off-axis sputtering is carried out under following operational conditions:
- Substrate temperature 570° C.
- Example 1 is repeated but the MgO thin film is replaced by a thin film of Ag of the same thickness.
- Example 2 after deposition is complete, the substrate temperature is lowered to 500° C. and then a thin film of Ag is deposited up to a thickness of 10 nm without oxygen by evaporation method under following conditions:
- the substrate temperature is adjusted at 570° C. and a second thin film of oxide superconductor of Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (3) having a thickness of 200 nm is deposited on the resulting thin film of Ag by off-axis sputtering under the same operational conditions as Example 1.
